Best tour guide in all of Kenya
Our tour guide Solomon really made our trip extra special. His knowledge of the animals and the parks was impressive and he always had a great spirit. He really went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing time!
We took the budget safari and we’re also super surprised at the accommodations which were well beyond our expectations. Everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful, from booking to the camp staff
Overall totally life changing experience and you can go wrong with Lenchada. And if you’re lucky you’ll get Solomon

It’s been a great experience
We had a great experience!
TLDR;
We got in touch through safaribookings.com and Alex was quick to respond. We booked a 4 day private tour for 2ppl and paid a 100USD deposit through a website. On the first day we got picked up from our hotel nice and early by Gerald in his (tidy and clean) 4x4. He took us to the company’s office where we settled the outstanding bill for the tour. We had some trouble with our preferred card, but Alex and the team were very understanding and offered their mobile to call our bank. In hindsight we should have paid cash (to also avoid the tour company’s card fee, which they were very transparent about from the beginning). We then got on our way to Masai Mara with Gerald. Due to the slight delay with payment, he was very keen for us not to miss our lunch at the hotel and got us there in good time. Throughout the safari, he was on time and eager to accommodate our wishes. He frequently communicated with all the other drivers in the area to not miss any great sightings. Overall we had a really good time and would recommend this tour company to other safari goers. Thank you to Gerald, Alex and the team!

Solomon is the best tour guide.
We are so blessed to have Solomon because he is an incredible tour guide. His knowledge of the parks; animals; and where to find them were extraordinary. He was so patient and answered all of our non-stop questions, with grace and good humor.
He was super helpful and caring making sure that everyone in the group was taken care of in the best way.
I honestly feel that my trip would not have been as amazing without him! Thank you Soloman for this incredible experience!

Trustable
Lenchada did a very good job. Alex is a committed person, really professional, he aligned and clarified everything with me by email and manage to attend to everything, with no need for us to keep chasing him all the time. Also, he kept an eye on the Safari always calling the guide driver to make sure that is everything going smoothly as it should be. The guide WILSON, is definitely an experienced person on safaris, he has knowledge about animals and knows the park and the places. We saw the BIG5 and arranged breakfast to be taken in the savanna to optimize the time, was a nice experience.

Excellent!!! Exceeded all expectations :) Thank you
James was the best guide for the Maasai Mara safari - he went out of his way to make sure everyone was taken care for and delivered as promised. Because of his hard work, we saw the elephants, lions, cheetahs, giraffes, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles and even the famous and shy leopard. Highly recommend James and Lechanda Safari.

A beautiful and unforgettable experience! Everything went above our expectations
The four day Safari was a wonderful experience.
Our guide, Khalif, is amazing. If you want to have an unforgettable experience he is the one. We started from Nairobi and drive all the way to the Masai Mara reserve. The vehicle is a pretty new Land Crusier, very confortable and that will look awesome in your photos. We stopped at the rift valley where we got to see some damans. We had lunch at the Masai Mara Sopa Lodge and then we did our first game drive. Khalif has been doing this for years, he knows the park by heart and he is very friendly with the tribes leaving around, other guides and park guards. He took us to the best stops to see lions, giraffes, cheetahs, elephants, zebras, hienas and many more wild animals. We ended with an outstanding view of the sunset and headed back to the hotel for dinner and rest. The hotel is very nice, they welcome you with a fruit juice and all meals are buffet. The room looked very cleaned and they prepared it with mosquito nets, it felt quite safe, we came in January and there were not many mosquitos. The second day we woke up quite early and headed for a full day drive game that started with the sunrise. We saw so many animals, and so close. We even had a lion laying out next to our car looking for a shadow. In total we did see more than 30 lions in the whole trip, no kidding, even small cute simbas. We only brought our phone camaras and wow the photos we could took are amazing. Although if you have a camera with deeper zoom better bring it with you. The third day we visit a Massai tribe, the leader took us around and explained our culture. They show us some of their tradicional dances and they even invited to join us. The leader welcomed us inside his home and meet his family. It is very interesting to learn about this humble culture and totally worth the visit. After that we headed to Lake Nakuru and we did our first game drive there in the afternoon. We got to experience several white rhinos and a huge amount of zebras crossing in front us.
Khalif knows a lot about the animals, and he guessed correctly at what time and exact location the rhinos would be crossing so we got the perfect photo. The second hotel is also pretty nice, although we liked more the first. The cool about this ones is that it has amazing views of the park and the lake. If you are lucky as us you might get a room with a full window wall and a terrace looking into the nature, you can even see some animals from there. For our last day we headed to an early morning game drive were we got to see flamingos, more lions and a lot others. Warthogs look so funny.
Honestly when looking for a safari we did not know which to choose and we were afraid to get scammed. But we could not be more happy with the outcome. We felt totally safe during the whole trip, the planning was as described and the whole trip was way more incredible than expected. So I would totally recommend Lenchada tours for anyone that wants to do a Safari in Kenia. If you can choose to go with Khalif better, he will ensure you have fun, you learn a lot, you get to see animals very close and you enjoy the full experience.

Amazing!
We had such a great -4 day Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru safari! Alex was super helpful at the organising answering all my questions, and Dickson our driver was amazing! He has 15 years experience so is super knowledgable about all the animals on safari and knows all the spots where all the animals are - it was truely amazing how close we got to some of them! Don’t hestaite to book with Lenchada and also request Dickson as the driver - you will not regret it!
